Ravens LB Odafe Oweh flagged for Aaron Rodgers shove

Defending Aaron Rodgers is hard enough. Holding pass rushers to this kind of standard makes it even harder. Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Odafe Oweh saw an incomplete pass turn into Green Bay Packers first down on Sunday, all thanks to a shove of Rodgers the officials called roughing the passer.  Here is the “hit” that drew the flag: That flag turned what would have been second-and-10 on the Ravens’ 18-yard line into first-and-goal, which the Packers converted into a game-tying touchdown… Source link

Jaguars move into No. 1 pick slot with Lions’ win

The Detroit Lions are no longer in the pole position of the 2022 NFL draft. The suddenly plucky Lions have now won two of their past three games, including Sunday’s stunning 30-12 victory over the first-place Arizona Cardinals, which has bumped them up to a 2-11-1 record — sliding them into the No. 2 overall pick in next year’s draft (for now). And with three weeks remaining in the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are now in the draft’s driver’s seat — again — thanks to their… Source link

He might become a professional golfer in his father’s footsteps, or he might just end up playing the game for fun. Either way, right now he’s the talk of the sport, and justifiably so.   Tiger and Charlie fell to the duo of John Daly and son John Daly II, but the tournament came down to the final two… Source link

Jets pull off terrific hook-and-lateral pass vs. Miami

The New York Jets, owners of one of the weaker offenses in the NFL this season, were 0-for-15 on third downs of 15-plus yards entering Sunday’s game.  So credit to them for trying something pretty novel to solve their third-and-long issue against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. Leading 17-10, the Jets faced third-and-15 at their own 20-yard line. And that’s when they unleashed this puppy out of nowhere: Wow! Your natural inclination might have been to check the clock — final few seconds of… Source link

Everything’s falling apart in Jacksonville!

In all… Source link
